تسجيل الدخولChapters 5 and 6 were sent in French yesterday, but I've already corrected them. I'm just waiting for my editor to approve and release them to you.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I can't sleep.I spent the night on the sofa in the downstairs office, my head in my hands, her taste still on my tongue. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Elara's body contracting around my fingers. Heard the moan she tried to swallow. Saw the tears of rage and pleasure falling.Now it's almost nine in the morning.I walk up the stairs with the tray in my hand. Black coffee, toast, eggs, a sliced apple. Simple food. Necessary. When I open the bedroom door, she's sitting in the corner of the bed, hugging her knees, still only in her panties. The shirt I took off yesterday is thrown on the floor. Her neck carries the purple mark I made. Her eyes are swollen.She looks at me as if I were poison."Get out," she murmurs, her voice hoarse.I w
I keep her locked up all day.Not out of cruelty.Out of control.I need to distance myself. I need to remember who I am and what I swore I would never become. But every time I closed my eyes, I saw her body under mine. Her marked neck. Her green eyes full of hatred and desire. The way she trembled when my mouth traveled down her skin.Now it's night.I walk up the stairs slowly. The key turns in the lock. When I open the door, I find her sitting on the edge of the bed, still wearing my black shirt. Her hair is messy. Her eyes are red. She didn't sleep well. Neither did I."You came back," she says, her voice hoarse from screaming alone."I never really left," I answer, closing the door behind me. "I just gave you space to hate harder."She laughs without humor."How generous."I walk toward her. Slowly. Every step is calculated. When I stop in front of her, she has to lift her face to look at me. I like this position. I like seeing her smile under me."Get up.""No."I grab her chin
Je la porte à l'étage comme si elle ne pesait rien.Elle se débat tout le chemin. Ses ongles tentent de déchirer ma chemise, ses dents cherchent n'importe quel morceau de peau qu'elles peuvent atteindre, ses jambes donnent des coups de pied dans le vide avec force. Je ne la lâche pas. Mon bras est fermement enroulé autour de sa taille, l'autre tenant ses deux poignets contre ma poitrine. Son odeur monte — la colère, du savon cher, et ce désir qu'elle déteste admettre. Chaque mouvement de son corps contre le mien ne fait que me tendre davantage.— Lâche-moi, espèce d'enfoiré ! crie-t-elle, la voix rauque d'avoir tant insulté.Je ne réponds pas. Je monte simplement les escaliers d'un pas ferme, sentant mon cœur battre fort dans ma poitrine. Quand nous arrivons à la chambre, je la jette sur le lit. Son corps rebondit sur le matelas moelleux et elle tente immédiatement de se relever. Je monte sur elle avant qu'elle n'y parvienne. Mes genoux de chaque côté de ses hanches, mes mains mainten
Le silence après l'appel de Maeve pèse dans la chambre.Elara est toujours menottée par le poignet droit à la tête de lit. La fine chemise de nuit épouse son corps d'une manière qui me fait serrer la mâchoire. Je reste debout à côté du lit, la regardant. Elle me rend mon regard avec la même fureur que toujours, mais maintenant il y a quelque chose de différent. De la curiosité. De la peur. Et cette colère qui brûle en dessous.— Ta mère sait que tu es un kidnappeur ? demande-t-elle, la voix rauque d'avoir tant crié hier.— Elle sait que je fais ce qu'il faut pour protéger ce qui est à moi — réponds-je.Je m'approche et libère la menotte. Elara s'assoit immédiatement et frotte son poignet rouge. J'attends le coup. Il vient. Elle essaie de me frapper au visage avec sa main libre. J'attrape son poignet en l'air et la tire vers le bord du lit, la forçant à se mettre à genoux sur le matelas, face à moi.— Continue d'essayer — murmure-je en inclinant mon visage près du sien. — Chaque fois q
I wake up with the faint light of dawn coming through the heavy curtains.My body is still tense. I spent the whole night on the sofa, eyes half-open, listening to every breath she took. Elara slept badly. I heard her pulling at the cuffs, sobbing quietly, and finally, silence settling in.Now she's awake.I feel her gaze on me before I even move. When I open my eyes, I find her staring. Her black hair is messy, the thin nightgown clinging to her body, her wrists still tied above her head. There's anger in her green eyes… and something tired underneath."Good morning, little one," I say, my voice hoarse from no sleep.She spits my name."Get these fucking cuffs off. I need to go to the bathroom."I get up slowly. My body aches from being on the sofa. I walk to the bed and lean over her. Her scent—soap, warm skin, and that constant hatred—rises to me. I grip her chin firmly."Ask properly.""Fuck you," she growls.I almost smile. Instead, I release only one side of the cuffs, just enou
I hear her screaming from the other side of the house.The employee I hired, an older woman named Marta, is trying to drag Elara to the bathroom. The curses echo through the hallways: "Let me go, you old bitch!" "I'm not going to shower on your orders!" "That son of a bitch is going to regret buying me!"I stand in the dark hallway, leaning against the wall, listening to everything. My lip still burns where she bit me. The taste of blood is still on my tongue. And fuck, I like it.Minutes later, the bathroom door slams shut. I hear the sound of water running. Marta comes out a few minutes later, her face tired."She's inside, sir. Only the wrist cuffs remain. I took off the ankle ones. But… she's very aggressive.""Leave her," I answer quietly. "Go to sleep. I'll handle the rest."When the house finally falls silent, I walk to the bathroom door. I don't knock. I just open it.Elara is standing under the hot shower, her back to me. The water runs down her body, wetting her black hair s
The blood-red dress is spread across the bed like a declaration of war.There is no choice in the fabric that Luka deposits there with the precision of a surgeon preparing instruments. Thin crepe, a neckline that turns breathing into a spectacle, and an open back down to the base of the spine. It is
The Caribbean sun beats down on my face as we walk along the main deck. The black silk robe Zion gave me barely hides what happened in the last few hours. My wrists are still marked, red beneath the wide sleeves. Every step reminds me that I’m here against my will… and, at the same time, that I did
Zion continues sliding the cold strawberry over my nipple, circling slowly, teasing. Elias keeps two fingers pressed against my soaked entrance, opening me, but without penetrating—just feeling how wet and desperate I am.“Say it,” Elias repeats, his voice deep and relentless. “Say you want us. Or
Time inside this suite becomes something viscous and cruel.Minutes stretch like hours. I no longer know if thirty minutes or three hours have passed since the door closed with that final click. The digital clock on the nightstand reads 23:47, but the black sea beyond the panoramic windows offers n
